 Allah's Messenger
(Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam) said:"None is more patient than Allah against the
harmful and annoying words He hears (from the people): They ascribe children to Him, yet
He bestows upon them health and provision."

Some Ansari persons asked
for (something) from Allah's Apostle (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam) and he gave them. They
again asked him for (something) and he again gave them. And then they asked him and he
gave them again till all that was with him finished. And then he
(Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam) said "If I had anything, I would not keep it away from
you. (Remember,) whoever abstains from asking others, Allah will make him contented, and
whoever tries to make himself self-sufficient, Allah will make him self-sufficient. And
whoever remains patient, Allah will make him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing
better and greater than patience." |

The Prophet
(Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam) passed by a woman who was weeping beside a grave. He told her
to fear Allah and be patient. She said to him, "Go away, for you have not been
afflicted with a calamity like mine." And she did not recognize him. Then she was
informed that he was the Prophet (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam). So she went to the house of
the Prophet (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam) and there she did not find any guard. Then she
said to him, "I did not recognize you." He (Sal-allahu- aleihi-wasallam) said,
"Verily, the patience is at the first stroke of a calamity." |

| Allah's Apostle
(Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam) said: "Strange are the ways of a believer for there is
good in every affair of his and this is not the case with anyone else except in the case
of a believer for if he has an occasion to feel delight, he thanks (God), thus there is a
good for him in it, and if he gets into trouble and shown resignation (and endures it
patiently), there is a good for him in it". |

| I heard Allah's Apostle
(Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam) saying, "Allah said, 'If I deprive my slave of his two
beloved things (i.e., his eyes) and he remains patient, I will let him enter Paradise in
compensation for them." |

| The Prophet (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam)
said, "Whenever any of you turns his look towards one who has been given more in
wealth and physique, let him look towards one who is inferior to himself". In the
narration of Muslim, the Prophet (Sal-allahu-aleihi-wasallam) said, "Look at him who
is inferior to you, and don't look at him who is superior to you. It is therefore, more
proper that you should not consider the gifts of Allah upon you as
insignificant". |
